DESCRIPTION:
Rudolf Meierhofer, International Medical Society for Applied Kinesiology"This book presents the basic techniques of AK in a manner simple enough for the lay person to understand, and clearly enough to be used as a reference for the AK practitioner. It provides a good bridge for many kinesiologists to learn about classical AK."—Wolfgang Gerz, MD, Past President of ICAK-D, International College of Applied Kinesiology, Germany . Goodheart, DC, Founder of Applied Kinesiology"Robert Frost accurately describes AK the way medical doctors and chiropractors perform it. "Applied Kinesiology is something that can be performed with knowledge, with physiological facts, and with predictable certainty. This is the best introduction to Applied Kinesiology I’ve ever seen!"—Dr. It should be done, it can be done, and this book offers a m
Applied kinesiology uses diagnostic muscle tests in conjunction with standard examination procedures to determine the causes of health problems. Written for professionals and nonprofessionals alike, Applied Kinesiology includes 32 muscle tests and a step-by-step guide for applying specific correction techniques.
Robert Frost received degrees in psychology, biology, and physics from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Since 1998 he has been active in the International College of Applied Kinesiology in Germany, creating courses combining psychology and Applied Kinesiology. In 1970, he studied traditional kinesiology with Andre Bernard at New York Universit
Grain of salt Curious searcher I'm a little skeptical of Applied Kinesiology in general, but there is some useful info in the book in terms of history. See youtube of some AP vids in Germany where different practitioners give conflicting results on muscle testing.. Excellent resource on AK Here's why I like this book:1) In depth yet accessible language. In many cases, anatomical words that might be new to certain readers are described in parenthesis. Failing that, the book has a full glossary of all medical/anatomical words that appear in the text.2) Excellent description of execution of AK muscle testing procedure. It's worth noting that different forms of AK use different methods. The one used in this text is quite easy to 'feel'. However, because it involves a maximal contraction of the target muscle, it can be difficult to use on particularly so. Very good for the AK neophyte If you are not familiar with AK and have some anatomy and physiology knowledge, this book will do. It has everything you need to know with a good section on muscle testing.
